Summer mercato 2012

[Kastriot]

I think, Milan will resist as hard as they can in loosing Thiago Silva. But if the amount offered to Milan is gigantic (over 50 mil euros money not with players, like 70-80 mil euros), I doubt Gallaini co. could reject the offer.

This word ... "resist", that Galliani uses, makes me laugh.

The way it should work is the following :
- if Galliani and Allegri think T. Silva should stay no matter what, there is no need to resist to anything, they just have to refuse the offers
- if Galliani thinks T. Silva has a price, then he should just fix that price and then refuse all offers that are under that price

There is no need to resist, just to plan things ... That sounds so amateurish when Galliani says such a thing. And by saying that, it unfortunately sends a message to the other clubs : "keep sending offers for Thiago Silva, we'll try to resist, and as a direct consequence, we could give up at some price".

So nowadays, I'm not that confident that T. Silva will stay ...

The only positive quote I read is the one of Allegri saying that it would be a huge mistake to sell Thiago Silva because he's our leader and he is the best player, and that it is why he will stay (he also said that a quality midfielder could arrive) ...

But what is the weight of this comment from Allegri against the huge amounts of money Galliani could get by accepting an offer for Thiago Silva ?!

What he means is that everything is open. By all means, everyone can go, everyone can come. There is no plan, at least its the way it looks at the moment.

As it looks right now. I would just and I mean just try to sign Strootman and close the mercato. For every penny spent more than 15 mil, they will have to raise funds, and we all know what that means.

Seeing our situation atm it is much more important to keep the current players. It is never goo to change too much the shape of the team.

Afterall this is not bad team.
